Plasma Cleaner

Description and Applications

The High Power Expanded Plasma Cleaner from Harrick Plasma controls surface properties by removing residual nanoscale organic contamination and modifying surface chemistry. The PlasmaFlo accessory includes a vacuum gauge and a digital barometer and allows for quantitative control of the gas flow rate, process pressure monitoring, and gas mixing or independent control of two different gases. At ANTEC, the Plasma Cleaner is utilized for nanoscale surface cleaning and surface activation in preparation of biomaterials, scaffolds, and microfluidic devices.
